5 Winter Beauty Mistakes You May Be Making

Keeping skin soft and supple is more about what you’re notdoing than doing something wrong. Discover the five culprits ruining your routine and how to fix them.

Mistake #1: Unintentional DehydrationIt’s not the temperature that decides how much your skin care regimen should change, it’s the wind and humidity levels. During the brisk winter months, a thick, emollient hydrator will last the day and provide skin with protection from the elements.

Tip: Even during the winter months, drinking water throughout the day will help combat unintentional dehydration too!

Mistake #2: Using Powdered FormulasDuring the “-ary” months, switch to cream foundations and eyeshadows in lieu of traditional powder formulas. This will help maintain your look against the winter elements. I love using COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation and COVERGIRL Bombshell ShineShadow by LashBlast.

Tip: Just like foundations, switching blush from powder to cream makes skin look plumper, more youthful and more hydrated. Sweep on a little cream blush using a synthetic brush on the apples of the cheeks for a pop of color.
